Trent Alexander-Arnold Joins Investment Group Into British-Based Formula One Team Alpine Racing

Liverpool FC’s Trent Alexander-Arnold is among a list of high-profile backers to join an investment group into British-based Formula One team Alpine Racing. The 25-year-old right-back is now considered a senior player within Jurgen Klopp’s squad, and over the summer was named vice-captain.

The investment group, led by Otro Capital and RedBird Capital Partners, is worth €200 million and will acquire a 24 percent stake in Alpine Racing. Joining Alexander-Arnold in the group are boxer Anthony Joshua, golfer Rory McIlroy, fellow footballer Juan Mata, and Super Bowl winners Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce of the NFL. The group was first announced in July, with actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney – now famously owners of Wrexham AFC – also providing funds.

RedBird Capital Partners are also investors in Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group, with a $735 million deal to purchase around 10 percent of FSG announced in 2021. The group went on to take control of AC Milan and Toulouse, the latter of whom will play Liverpool in the Europa League group stage.

Alexander-Arnold’s Excitement for Investment

Alexander-Arnold expressed his excitement for joining Otro Capital’s group as an investor into Alpine F1 along with his brother Tyler. “Having been to Formula 1 races as a fan, I love the high-pressure environment of the paddock and I’ve seen firsthand how incredibly impressive the Alpine team is,” he said. “Our shared goal as an investment group is to help contribute to its continued success on the grid, at a time when F1 is facing incredible growth as a sport. As a footballer, I understand the importance of teamwork, innovation and determination in achieving goals.”

Alexander-Arnold’s Business Ventures

Alexander-Arnold has gradually made inroads into business off the pitch in recent years. He has invested in various companies, including a sports data company and a gaming platform. He has also launched his own clothing brand, TA66, which he hopes will become a global brand. His latest venture is joining the investment group into Alpine Racing.

Alpine Racing’s History

Alpine Racing was founded in 2020 and is owned by Renault. The team is based in Enstone, Oxfordshire, and has had some success in its short history. In 2021, they finished third in the Constructors’ Championship and their drivers Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso both finished in the top ten in the Drivers’ Championship. The team is hoping that this new investment will help them to continue their success.
